If I could make regular Americans understand one single fact, it would be: If you do not have a union then you are always, always leaving money on the table. That money is then taken by rich people who don't do work.

This is an excellent example of worker power in action! Our coworkers in SoHo stood up for what they needed and kept themselves safe - all because of their powerful collective voice.✊

Many of our loyal REI SoHo customers have been asking why the SoHo store was closed over the weekend of August 3-4! The closure was actually an example of our union shop functioning as it's supposed to: workers brought a safety concern to management, and management listened.✊

Congratulations folks! It was a pleasure to play my tiny part in this, but it was all you. It does my heart good to see booksellers uniting for a better future, and to see them getting a fair shake.

Time for some THANKS!
We could never have gotten our first contract ratified without the support of the literary community; thank you to all these authors for speaking up and standing with us. Your support means so much! ✊📚

Our collective voice continues to grow, as does the outpouring of support from Co-op members and REI shoppers across the country. It’s so empowering to see more and more community members standing alongside us as we keep fighting for a Co-op that actually lives up to its potential.
@REI - if your own members and customers believe we should be a union company, why are you making this so difficult? Come to the table, and let’s take negotiations seriously!
